Allison Parks(1941-2010)
- Actress
Lovely and shapely blue-eyed blonde Allison Parks was born Gloria
Waldron on October 18, 1941 in Glendale, California. Her father ran a
floral nursery in Sun Valley, California. Allison was a cheerleader at
Glendale High School. Parks was the Playmate of the Month in the
October, 1965 issue of "Playboy." Allison told "Playboy" that she was
twenty-one and single when she posed for her pictorial; in reality she
was twenty-three, married, and the mother of two children (both of her
kids are featured in said pictorial as "swimming school" students). She
was named Playmate of the Year in 1966. In the wake of her Playmate
stint Parks went on to have a very successful modeling and acting
career (she primarily acted in a slew of TV commercials). Moreover,
Allison also worked for an investment counseling firm and was a
licensed scuba diver. Parks died of heart failure on June 21, 2010 on
the beach in her favorite vacationing spot in Hawaii.
